Location was perfect, peaceful and relaxing. The apartment was spotlessly clean and the bed was very comfortable, with everything we needed for a great stay.Our host Ally was incredibly helpful and welcoming and making sure we felt right at home. She not only bought us the cheaper ferry tickets but also managed to change the timings of our trip at a very short notice on our request.she also provided us with a variety of breakfast items.It really made a difference to our trip.We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway on the Isle of Wight!
